Herbert goes quickest at Le Mans

Former Grand Pix star Johnny Herbert set the fastest time in the first practice sessions for this year's Le Mans 24 Hours in his Audi UK R8 prototype. The Audis have dominated the timesheets as expected but Herbert's best lap was an impressive two seconds faster than the second quickest car, the Team Goh R8 driven by Tom Kristensen. Third quickest was Allan McNish in the second Audi UK car while the fastest non-Audi was Jan Lammers in the Racing for Holland Dome-Judd.
